Sun, 29 Dec 2013 03:22:30 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2233270#comment-3039927No doubt in my opinion that coach Allen has tried to pump up mcgloin every week with some obscure stats that deflects the real fact that mcgloin really is not all that good. With that said I have no doubt that coach Allen prefers mcgloin over pryor, which has me wondering why he is a head coach

Unbelievable these knuckleheads bashing Allen as a poor coach. The issue is not Allen. It is that the Raiders have no talent. They do not have one legitimate star. They have no one in the skill positions. I am not an Allen fan, and actually questioned why he was hired in the first place. But to be honest, they have improved over last year without a legitimate quarterback, a running back who only plays part time and no talent at the wideouts. Their defense is solid at times, but unspectacular and is not deep enough to keep them in games while the offense struggles to score. They need to build the lines and add skill players. Then if they do not perform, we will talk about coaching.

Not to state the obvious, but even IF the Raiders beat the Donkeys this Sunday, they will have only matched their record from last season. So, no, they have not improved. Any dynamic you argue in favor, is largely nothing more than fan opinion. What really matters, are results, and they’re simply not getting those.

(although in fairness to Allen he didn’t have much to work with given the roster he was dealt)

Fired up right before getting fired. And he knows it.

Wed, 25 Dec 2013 05:31:11 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2233270#comment-3033440Pryor never should have been benched so long. Once healthy he should have had the chance at starting again. McGloin’s only really good game was being spotted at the opponents 16 yard line twice, in which he scored. A few decent drive’s here and there, but also the terrible turnovers deep in Raider land, and easy points given up.

Pryor can atleast move the ball down the field, and his struggles with turnovers mostly come when deep in the oppenents field, when it is a short field. It’s absurd to KEEP throwing picks when you have 80 yards or more to go as McGloin does. The defense get’s little rest, and they are bad enough late in games with some rest. They are doomed with so little. Pryor may not be the answer, but I’m certain Mcgloin is not. A backup at best, that can win a game if the defense makes plays and saves him from himself.

Take clowney to pair him up with Houston and build a DEFENCE. We have cap room to invest in a part time qb like cutler, locker, schaub etc until we find our guy. just my 2cents. GO RAIDER NATION!!

Wed, 25 Dec 2013 01:28:18 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2233270#comment-3033123I watched all of Pryor’s games. He had had a rapid improvement then flatlined.

McGloin played very well for a game or two then didn’t do much. McGloin certainly has played poorly enough for a benching.

What Pryor has is another opportunity to start in the NFL. Those are few and precious opportunities.

How is getting a start and a chance to prove yourself a setup for failure?? Come on. Would the agent have rather not had the start??

Damn it , if you are Pryor and think you belong, then SHOW US THAT YOU DO.

As a Raiders fan I’m hoping DA is putting those burgers in a bag next to him and Gruden comes back. :)

Wed, 25 Dec 2013 00:07:38 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2233270#comment-3033055First of all, Denver’s defense is not even that good. Secondly, the agent is insane to think that it would be better to not play this game. Players get noticed by playing well against teams, not by sitting on the bench. Yes it would probably be easier for Pryor to look good against a bad team…but it is not like this was his only chance this year.

Good coaches develop talent and make good draft classes…it’s not a crap shoot. It’s a crap shoot when you’re a coach with no vision.

Tue, 24 Dec 2013 23:53:35 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=2233270#comment-3033026Pryor’s agent is totally afraid his client will bomb against a very good Bronco team, and there is a very good possibility of this, because he is not very good.

Teams play Pryor trying to force him left, or up in the pocket. They know he is only dangerous moving or rolling to his right. He gets nervous feet to his left, and wants to roll (spin) around back right to make a play, but spins to the rush from the right. He is way to predictable.

McGloin looks poised and can run left, right or step up in the pocket. Yea, I hear the noise, but look at Troy Aikman’s first year with the cowboys. What a terrible O-line, terrible team (like the current raiders). The boys went 1-15. Aikman was the #1 pick, McGloin is a walk on. If the Cowboys had written off Aikman after the first year they would not be in the history books. I say give the walk on a little slack, he has something and just needs a better surrounding cast and time.

Anyways Allen has always been coy about who was going to start QB, why declare it on a monday to let the broncos prepare? Why won’t he use the element of surprise? He wants to give the broncos the edge?
Oh I forgot he’s an ex bronco!
